Create the Word Searches You’ve Always Wanted — Without Compromise
Word searches are timeless. They’re a perfect mix of creativity, logic, and visual design — and now, you can create them exactly the way you want.
With Puzzle Maker Pro – Standard Word Search, you have full control over every puzzle element: the grid, the layout, the typography, the rules, and even the shape.
Whether you want clean educational worksheets, artistic shaped puzzles for Etsy, or entire puzzle books for KDP — everything starts here.
🧩 Your Words, Your Rules
At the heart of every puzzle lies a list of words — and Puzzle Maker Pro lets you manage that list your way.
Copy and paste directly from any document or load a text file.
Generate puzzles instantly and see the preview update live.
Every option is designed for creators who want both speed and precision:
- Unlimited or limited number of words
- Choose how diagonals and reversed words appear
- Control whether words overlap, share letters, or stay separate
- Filter out unwanted words automatically
- Hide vowels for “missing letter” or “learning” puzzles
- Sort words by dictionary order, numeric order, or randomize them completely
You can even use hints instead of words, turning a simple puzzle into a powerful learning tool. Perfect for language teachers, trivia lovers, or puzzle creators who want more depth.
🧱 Build Any Grid — or Any Shape
Most puzzle software stops at rectangles.
Puzzle Maker Pro doesn’t.
You can create classic grids or import any silhouette image to shape your puzzle: hearts, stars, animals, logos, or even letters.
The built-in Mask Editor lets you design shapes from scratch or fine-tune your imported artwork.
Combine creative shapes with your custom word lists to make themed puzzles that are as unique as your audience.
This is how publishers create Valentine’s hearts, Christmas trees, or animal silhouettes — all inside Puzzle Maker Pro, no graphics software required.
🧠 Three Intelligent Algorithms, Endless Variety
Every puzzle generator is fast. But not every one is smart.
Puzzle Maker Pro gives you three distinct placement strategies:
- Compact – tightly packed puzzles with shared letters and dense grids.
- No Shared Letters – crossing allowed, but no letter reuse.
- Use All Words – maximizes word inclusion for bigger lists.
Each algorithm changes the personality of your puzzle. Combine that with your styling presets, and you can create hundreds of unique variations from a single list.
🎨 Design With Precision
Word searches aren’t just games — they’re design pieces.
With full styling control, you can:
- Choose any TrueType font (serif, sans, handwriting, calligraphic)
- Adjust colors for background, borders, cell lines, and text
- Customize word list layout, font size, and alignment
- Add “Chaotic Letters” for a playful, hand-drawn effect
- Apply rounded-corner outlines or highlight words in bold
Every export looks crisp and professional.
You can switch from minimalist black-and-white to colorful themed layouts instantly.
📘 Solutions That Look Professional Too
Every puzzle can include a matching solution — and it looks just as good.
Highlight words with filled color, clean lines, or subtle outlines.
Control line color, width, and style.
Choose whether to show bold letters, outlines, or just filled paths.
You can even hide secret words or fill empty spaces with specific “noise” characters.
Every solution is generated automatically, ready for export.
🧮 Instant Puzzle Books and Multi-Format Exports
You can export any puzzle as high-resolution JPG, PNG, SVG, or PDF, ready for publishing or printing.
All files are 300 DPI, perfect for Amazon KDP, Etsy printables, or classroom worksheets.
Combine puzzles and solutions into instant PDF puzzle books — fully formatted, numbered, and consistent.
No external software needed.
🎓 For Teachers and Educators
Educational puzzles are one of the most engaging ways to learn.
With Puzzle Maker Pro, teachers can:
- Create themed vocabulary puzzles in minutes

- Control difficulty using diagonals and word limits
- Print classroom sets or share digital PDFs instantly
Each puzzle can be tuned to match your students’ level — easy for beginners, challenging for experts.
It’s your lesson plan turned into a game.
